Gluten Free Vanilla Sponge
I must admit I’m not that experienced with Gluten Free baking. As I’m now finding more and more are needing to follow Gluten Free diets, I would like to learn how to bake more with GF products. What does make me annoyed is that gluten free products cost far more to buy. How is that…

Pistachio Bundt Cake: Bundt Challenge #7.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been working my way through my Bundt book challenge. So far I’ve managed one recipe a week. Doesn’t sound like much but I have lots going on in my life at the moment. Last Thursday afternoon I got home from work late after going via the shops on…

International Coffee Cake Day-Coffee and Walnut Cake #100bakes

#100bakeschallenge: Sausage rolls and scones.
For Mother’s Day this last Sunday I made an Afternoon Tea for my own mum, Mr S and I to enjoy. My son is away at uni and my daughter was working, although I did get to see her in the morning and then she was home to enjoy the Afternoon Tea leftovers later! For…

#100bakes: Victoria Sponge.
You can’t beat a traditional Victoria Sponge. It’s got to have fresh cream in it, for me. I also prefer it sprinkled with caster sugar, rather than icing sugar. A Victoria Sponge is another bake to scratch off the #100BakesChallenge Poster. I chose to use Mary Berry’s recipe, which always works for me. Instead of…
